Tyler Perry is officially a Billionaire

Tyler's net worth just jumped and made him the newest official member of the 3-comma club, according to a new Forbes report detailing his rise from being "poor as hell" to rich and powerful.

The numbers are in ... here's a breakdown of how Forbes is calculating Tyler's milestone net worth:

-- $320 million for his entire library of movies, TV shows, plays, etc., as he owns 100% of the content he's created

-- $300 million in cash and investments

-- $280 million for Tyler Perry Studios, which sits on 330 acres in Georgia

-- $60 million for his equity stake in BET+, the streaming service that debuted last year.

-- $40 million in homes and toys

Add it all up ... and that's a cool $1 billion. Not bad for a guy who once slept in his car.


The American Dream! No excuses! If he can do it, anyone can do it. No matter your race, color, creed, or religion.


I've actually never seen any of his movies. I always felt he was trying to compete and imitate Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence with his Madea movies, but he's clearly more talented than just being an actor alone.

Great achievement I suppose

I've driven by his studio in GA and it's pretty sweet. GA is becoming the new Hollywood because of how CA treats its businesses.

I'm not saying it's not a lot, i'm just saying it's an arbitrary number. Lets be real, his quality of life going from 750 million to 1 billion isn't changing much.

A bigger achievement is his studio

He was awesome in The Shield, great performance.

That's what's up. Perry has done something remarkable and self-sufficient with his business model. His films are shit but I admire the vision and grustle to make it happen.

I would love to visit his studios.

I ain’t tripping I got groceries from Winn Dixie cause he paid for them. He’s all good in my book

[hold this L]

Gotta give props to the dude, put in the work. Don't really like his movies, but you have to respect the work ethic.

[Smoke117]

His movies are atrocious. That he made 320 million off them is embarrassing. Black people have such awful taste.

So enough with the niceties of this thread. I didn't create the thread to stroke Tyler's ego.


Here's what I really care about. So is Tyler Perry just an aberration and anomaly? Or do we still think the deck is stacked against African-Americans in this country?

No country has more rich or succesful black people than the US. They can even buy hundreds of villages in Africa with that money.. but no they rather stay in the US and tell low income kids how terribly racist they're country is.

same with Adam Sandler, nothing but garbagio for 20 years but Happy Madison Prod makes him filthy and ppl watch it.

[Smook A.]

His movies and TV shows might be pretty bad, but I respect the hard work he put in to get there.

[Gohan]

Nah im black I just know that the police can’t come and beat me with their billy club for stating facts behind a keyboard. Police are the biggest gang in the city

[SaltyMeatballs]

Good for him but his movies are horrible
